Industry forecasts for glacial acetic acid, ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, soda ash, and caustic soda flakes

Glacial Acetic Acid
Yesterday, the Glacial Acetic Acid market price was mostly stable, with some factories raising prices in certain areas. Attention should be paid to changes in market sentiment. Longzhong Information predicts that glacial acetic acid prices may rise in certain areas in the short term.

Ethyl Acetate
Yesterday, the ethyl acetate market price saw a narrow range of adjustment. Currently, the industry's supply and demand imbalance remains, with all plants operating smoothly. However, downstream purchasing activity is generally low, factory shipments are flat, and raw material prices are mostly stabilizing, resulting in weak cost support. Longzhong predicts that the ethyl acetate market price will be slightly weaker today.

Butyl Acetate
Yesterday, the butyl acetate market price continued to rise. With the recent continuous price increases, many market participants are withdrawing from the market and adopting a wait-and-see approach. However, given the continued high price of raw material n-butanol, the cost side will support a bottoming-out sentiment. Attention should be paid to changes in buying sentiment. Longzhong predicts that the butyl acetate market price will remain firm today.

soda ash
Yesterday, the domestic soda ash market was stable, with spot prices firm and some companies making slight price adjustments. Plant operations are stable, with no new maintenance shutdowns. Downstream demand was moderate, primarily driven by immediate needs. Low futures and spot prices led to increased trading volume.

caustic soda flakes

Yesterday, the domestic caustic soda flake market continued its downward trend, with traders exhibiting weak confidence and a predominantly bearish sentiment. It is expected that today, approaching the weekend, market activity will further weaken. Based on current market performance, the likelihood of continued price declines for new orders from major upstream producers over the next week is high, and actual market transactions are also expected to show a downward trend.
